NMSU BASEBALL: Aggies head to Albuquerque to face Lobos

LAS CRUCES >> The New Mexico State baseball team heads to Albuquerque today for the first of two Rio Grande Rivalry matchups with New Mexico.

The Aggies are 6-29-1 overall this season, 3-11-1 in the Western Athletic Conference and took two in a three-game series with Grand Canyon last weekend. The Lobos are 23-16 overall and 13-8 in Mountain West Conference play and took two of three from UNLV last weekend.

New Mexico swept the season series last year.

"We're pumped," NMSU coach Brian Green said after Sunday's 11-7 win over Grand Canyon. "We get to go up there and play on the turf. They're swinging the bats really well, we're swinging the bats really well. We're obviously coming in with a little confidence. Grand Canyon, who's kidding who, they're the best team in the league this year and we just came in and really swung it well against them. That's certainly going to give you some confidence."

The Aggies and Lobos meet again on May 5 at Presley Askew Field, which will be NMSU's next home game.
